Screenwriter and novelist Edward Savio sits down with writers, filmmakers, and other dangerously creative people to talk unfiltered about blank pages, creative chaos, and the ways stories can save us. Honest, funny, and definitely not your normal book chat. Featuring guests like Julia Whelan, Greg Cope White, Ray Porter, and Christopher Moore. For writers, readers, and curious eavesdroppers. Come in quietly. And seriously… don’t tell anyone you’re here.
